XAP-1440 Upgrade Instructions

Upgrade Instructions

Are you using a Wireless Controller? If not, skip ahead to Standalone AP Upgrade Instructions.

If you’re adding a Wireless Controller to an existing installation and the Controller won’t detect your access points, it may be that the AP is running version 4 or older firmware, or that it is not a Controller-compatible AP. To upgrade firmware, follow the Standalone AP Upgrade Instructions below. Visit the Controller Compatibility page for a list of Controller-compatible access points.

If your access point is currently managed by a Wireless Controller, do the following:

Open the APs web interface by entering the IP address of the AP in your computer’s browser and select Administration >> Firmware Update.

Note: If you need help getting your computer connected to the AP on the same wired LAN, please refer to the IP Addressing help page at luxul.com/ip-adressing.

Select the Choose File button and navigate to the firmware file you downloaded, then select Open.

Select the Update button. You will see a status indicator letting you know the firmware update is in progress.

Once the upgrade process is complete you will see a message that reads, “Firmware has been updated successfully.” If you haven’t seen the message after a few minutes, check to see if your computer is reconnected to the AP. You may need to reconnect and refresh the page to see the message.
